  • Nyssa sylvatica fruit in June?

    Arkansas tupelo/cypress river. Early June, I kayaked miles of tupelos and didn’t notice fruits and then I saw this tree, which I thought was a tupelo, loaded with fruits. They seemed pretty close to ripe and definitely not from last year.

    Questions:

    1. Is the pictured fruit bearing tree a black tupelo?

    2. Why would it be fruiting so early? Unlike the many others around.

  • Found this tidbit in a book. Is this true?

    Because look, if I can actually slay my biggest garden foe by wrapping it clockwise around a stick or something and taping it down that’d be hilarious

  • Inquiry: Blue Comandra umbellata rhizome tissue

    Good morning, in recent field work I happened upon some C. umbellata, which was a new one for me. I noticed that the vascular tissue in the roots has a bright, oxidized copper-like blue tissue surrounding it. I'm unable to find what this would be in the literature, and would guess it's sequestration or some kind of fungal association. Does anybody know or have a theory as to what this would be? Cheers.

    Would anyone please give me an opinion on whether it's too late top this habanero plant. About 7" tall.

  • Leaf Shape Classification Question?

    I assume leaf shape classification is long been established. Has every possible leaf shape been named and classified? If not, why not? Is the distinct leaf shape of Brassaiopsis mitis classified? Who decides upon the name?

    Thank you in advance

  • Cactaceae in herbarium

    Hi, I'm currently putting together an herbarium for an exam at university and tries to exsiccate an Opuntia sp. emptying it, filling it with salt, putting it under the press for a week and finally passing it for 12h in 96° ethanol. What do you think of the result? Do you have any tips for the future?

  • Bifurcated apex on the terminal leaflet of a White Walnut

    Not sure how uncommon it is but it caught my eye the other day and I've never seen it before. I didn't spot any others on this feller. On a roadside tree (Montgomery County, MD)

  • Help needed labeling flower model

    We lost the key to this flower dicot model and need to make a new one. We are not plant experts at all and are having trouble figuring out what the numbers are supposed to correlate to. Can someone help us?

  • Cynoglossum officinale mutation?

    I’m pretty sure this is Cynoglossum officinale. I don’t believe they are variegated, so it must be a genetic mutation preventing chlorophyll formation. I’m also pretty sure that this species is not parasitic either. Not sure how it is surviving.
